THE Clerical and Commercial Workers’ Union (CCWU), under its project with the Health Sector Development Unit (HDSU) of the Ministry of Health will today launch a billboard highlighting a healthy lifestyle so that persons can take steps to avoid contracting the dreaded disease HIV/AIDS.

The billboard will also highlight the need to support persons living with the disease, speaking to the non-practice of stigma and discrimination.

The launching is scheduled to take place at the Union’s headquarters on Quamina Street, Georgetown today at 07:30 h.

Officials of the Ministry of Health will unveil the billboard. Immediately thereafter, the union’s contingent will join other unions outside Independence Park (Parade ground) to take part in the workers’ parade through Georgetown.

The union’s contingent will be led by the Union’s General President Fitzgerald Agard.

After the parade, members of the Union and friends will assemble at Clerico House for the usual Labour Day social that is likely to go on way into the night.
